** CHINA [and non]. 17490, 17640, 17655, 17665, 17800, 17810, 17890,
April 5 at 0213-0214, JBA carriers mostly with Doppler flutter, likely
China, and slightly stronger one on 17840 sounds Chinese. That last
one listed as CRI Beijing site to S America. In EiBi they all
correlate with some domestic or external service from China except
17810 NHK. See also UnIDs 21645 etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 5910, Apr 5 at 0219, S9+10/20 of orchestral music,
interrupted by ``running water`` ute blast. Presumed Alcaraván Radio
as now active. Reported about same time by Ron Howard: ``COLOMBIA.
5910, Alcaraván Radio (presumed), 0153+ UT, April 5, heard via new
Kiwi SDR remote at Tamesis, Colombia; choir singing "We Shall Be
Saved"; from 0157+ was surprised to hear a long reading entirely in
English of the Song of Solomon. My remote audio with one minute of
song and seven of English -
https://app.box.com/s/5x459ch7pb8pbn5qzuwp1iko3pzqi7kv
Ron, Monterey, California`` My next check of 5910 at 0709, S7/S8 of
familiar operatic aria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 5 at 0215, S9+20/30 of dead air in Spanish from
R. Rebelde; what else is old? Still at 0655, S9+25/40. SAWA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, April 5 at 0232, S8/S9 of dead air from RHC, English or
Spanish? At 0250 trace? of modulation, Spanish? Or is it an
understation? Nothing else scheduled now. Still at 0708, S9+20 of DA.
SAWA. Or are they really conveying some inaudible intelligence? Surely
not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 5 at 0251, S9+10 of dead air from RHC; still DA
with windhowl at 0703, S9+25/35, Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7335, 7365, 7435, April 5 at 0252, R. Martí on three 7
MHz frequencies at once, unusual, instead of one or two at a time; and
also 6030; overkill? Cuba is still not bothering to jam it at all;
would rather run dead air on RHC, Rebelde channels (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 21500, April 5 at 0208, non-Chinese talk, with Doppler
flutter -- it`s the new NHK Japanese for CIRAF 14 & 16, direct from
Yamata at 02-04, 81 degrees, replacing the France relay at same time
on 6105 which was as good as a N American service, but no English.
Quite weak on 21500, but nice to see a rare 13m broadcast to anywhere
in the WHem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 15280, April 5 at 0700, 3+1 timesignal, final pip higher and
resounding, and Japanese. It`s NHK for SE Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALAYSIA. 15295, April 5 at 0701, JBA carrier, maybe RTM Nasional
FM. Have had a hard time hearing this direct. Could also be CNR
jam/SOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. `Mediawatch` is not on the RNZ/RNZI/RNZP schedule for
2106 UT Saturday April 4, which should be its time shifted back to
standard; so I monitor the webcast. They say it`s off for this
holiday week, but will resume next week; on 17675, so likewise Sunday
at 1010 on 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Apr 5 at 0702, RNZP S9+20/25 talking about
Easter. Now the daily 07-11 frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, Sun Apr 5 at 1450, JBA carrier, and no 9700,
unlike past two days during this block, back where RNZP supposed to be
per own sked, but quite a loss for beyondhearers (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 AM, Apr 5 at 0222, ``pumping`` music, S9+20,
off by 0233 when similar thing heard on 9980 DSB; these say 6935 AM is
Liquid Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6915 AM, Apr 5 at 0223, S9+10 pirate music. These
say it`s R. Free Euphonia:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,161329.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9980 DSB, Apr 5 at 0233, S9+20/30 of ``pumping``
music like what was just on 6935 AM, now off. This signal is very
unusual: LSB and USB, but NO carrier! Upon first hitting it I wondered
if WWCR had reactivated a transmitter on this ex-frequency. By next
check 0237 it`s moved again to 9975 USB only. Still same at 0248. Many
reports earlier from 2213, no 9980 but until 0116 of 9965/9975, as
unID but some think it`s Mix Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, April 5 at 0234, ``Bunny not Funny`` song
S9+20, ID as Radio Bunny. Other reports of Easter show:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,161323.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11790, April 5 at 0705, S7/S9 Romanian talk, news? with
sounders. This RRI hour is Sundays only from Galbeni to Mideast. Lang
ID tip: frequent ``she`` which means ``and`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, April 4 at 2233, poor S7/S9 into UTwente, seems
like Turkish music, 2237 talk maybe in English; 2239 familiar sounder;
2247 recognizable multi-lingual ID filler reel, 2254 IS and off. Prop
over Europe really degraded; K index at 21 was 3.67, with G2/R2 storms
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660, Sun Apr 5 at 1637, no VOT signal into UTwente or
Hyderabad, India, so no early monitoring of the `Letterbox` this week
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9750.018, Sun Apr 5 at 1840 t/in, VOT English S9+35/50 into
UTwente, I catch the second repeat of `Letterbox` which has already
started into first one, Ricky Hein in Rapid City SD, as ever,
complaining about reception: 11785 at 22-23 is SINPO 11111 with QRM
from something on 11780 {Brasil, of course}; and 7275 at 03-04 is no
good for him either, SINPO 15111. As usual, Cemre says this has been
passed on to Emirler and they are looking into it. 2) Mr. S--
Makunda?, Birmingham UK, 11780 is 45444 for him. 3) Mohammed
Breyel, near KL, Malaysia, for 11660 at 1635, QSL? Again I raise the
question whether this is the same DXer known as Timm Breyel there, or
are they related? I can`t be sure if Moh. spells surname same way,
never seen, only heard it. 4) Chris Malbuff? or something like that,
Port Alberni BC, listened via UTwente to 9750 but OTHR QRM from 9740.
5) Siddartha Pattajarjee?, W Bengal, is 24 March celebrated as World
TB Day in Turkey? It is observed. How many TB cases, 10-11K per year!
1853 ending, 1854 theme, 1855 multi-lingual ID filler reel (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2341 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 4 at 1935 the now 1930 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Maryland
SDR.

As usual and I fear for the rest of spring/summer, cannot confirm
nominal 1930 Sat Apr 4 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, as none of the remotes
nearby, not even the one in St Louis, can hear it above the rather
extreme daytime noise levels.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2100 on WRMI 9395, immediately
following a DXtra.com commercial by Jeff White. Note: an example of
why I open and close each WOR with ``standard disclaimer`` -- I have
nothing to do with adjacent commercials; or any other opinions.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S7/9+5, and
17790, S9+10, both into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2357 the 2330 on
IRRS/NEXUS/IPAR/IBA webcast only, an hour earlier than during winter
time.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 5 at 0314 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
already a few minutes into; ARRL news had started at 0301, S9+10, so
wasn`t expecting WOR earlier than 0315.

Also confirmed Sunday April 5 at 0656 the 0630 on WRN via WRMI, 5850,
S9+30 and 7780, S7/9+5, but no others.

Not confirmed Sunday April 5 at 0930 on IRRS via Romania, 9510; nor
was expecting to but happened to awaken so checked. It was confirmed
last week by Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria.

Also confirmed Sunday April 5 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.996-, S9 into UTwente, immediately after 7290 s/off announcement.

** U S A. 5800, UT Sun Apr 5 at 0216, WRMI-11 talking about ICOM
America and ARRL; i.e. `CQ Calling` show on System D (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5907.1 & 5932.9 approx., matching spurs from 5920 WTWW +/-
12.9 kHz, so it`s the same transmitter which spews these from 5085 and
sometimes 9930. The upper one is severely QRMed by 5935 WWCR splash
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9917.16 & 9942.84 approx., matching spurs out of 9930 WTWW
with TOMBS, some modulation, April 5 at 1444. This is the #2
transmitter instead of the usual #1 which doesn`t provide such spurs.
These are only S7/S9 while fundamental 9930 is S9+40/45. George says
#1 was down due to a water leak, but soon to be resumed (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Apr 5 at 0228, no signal from WINB; rather early to be
off? Own sked shows `Moment of Truth` starting at 0230 for a
sesquihour, then last program `Worship at Home` from 0400 with no
endtime. Maybe it`s an Easter thing. 9275 also off: After Saturday
sunset = UT Sunday, their Sabbath is over, but WMLK is never in a
hurry to get working, back onto the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1440+ & 1460-, Apr 5 at 0257 UT bandscan, again hearing
those matching JBA carriers implying they are spurs out of one of the
160+ USA 1450 stations. One I measure approx. 1458.4. Wonder if Tim
Hall has found anything further about this from his Border Inn
recordings (Glenn Hauser,OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9177-9201 approx, April 5 at 0706, huge wideband
multi-carrier, multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S9+20
amid, but totally cutting off and on. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9684, Apr 5 at 0232, RTTY warble INTRUDING. At 0249, JBA
carrier with Doppler flutter, maybe the same RTTY now idling (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21645, 21725, 25695, April 5 at 0210-0212 JBA carriers
with Doppler flutter. None of these in A26 HFCC, so I bet they be CNR1
jammers vs Sound of Hope. Aoki and EiBi agree at least about 21645.
This was as I was getting R. Japan on 21500, q.v. See also numerous
ChiComs on 17 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
